Female Teacher Accused of Oral Sex with Student

(Pierce County, Washington) A 24-year-old former physical education teacher at White River High School, Rebekah M. Todd, was arraigned in state Superior Court on first-degree sexual misconduct for allegedly performing oral sex on a 17-year-old male student.

From News-Miner.com:

Authorities launched an investigation in February after a student being questioned by a school official about a juvenile drinking party blurted out, "What are they going to do about Miss Todd? Everybody knows Miss Todd (performed oral sex on a student)."

Officials contacted the student, who confirmed the allegation, charging documents state.

The incident happened sometime in March of last year after Todd reportedly met the boy at his father's business, where he had been cleaning. The boy told authorities that Todd kissed him at a graduation party three months later. Buckley police detectives interviewed two other students who claimed to witness Todd and the youth kissing.

Todd was fired from her teaching position in March. Interestingly, Todd was previously reprimanded by the school district for reportedly drinking with students and showing racy movies in class.

A late August trial date has been set. If convicted, Todd faces up to a year in jail.
